A week after a frustrating attempt to gain US Champions Tour status Peter is considering his options for 2019 which are likely to include attempts at Pre-Qualifying for events on the Champions Tour.
...

Peter has finished tied for 13th at Champions Tour qualifying in Tampa in Florida, his final round of 68 improving his 12 places to 13th and although he does not earn exempt status on the 2019 Champions...

An opening round of 65 at the Viking Classic at the Annandale Golf club in Madison in Mississippi has given Peter a share of the lead in his first PGA Tour event since November of 2009.

Peter played early on day one but took full advantage. He birdied the first from 20 feet and although he made a blunder at his second hole of the day when he took four to get down from 100 yards at the par five he made the turn in 32 and added three more birdies on his way home.

He finished his round off in style with two great approach shots at the 8th and 9th holes of the Annandale layout and heads into tomorrow's second round with growing confidence, especially in his putting which was particularly good today.

"I played ok but really didn't take advantage of the par
5s," said Peter a few hours after his round. "It is incredibly hot here this week and there is a
long way to go but it's nice to be in this spot after the first round."

Peter receives Viking Classic call up

Peter has gained a late call up to play the PGA Tour's Viking Classic this week in Madison in Mississippi and, although on his way to this week's Nationwide Tour event when he was advised, has made the decision to play his first PGA Tour event since mid November in 2009.

"I was halfway to Maineville in Ohio to play this week's Nationwide Tour event when I got the call," said Peter on Tuesday morning US time. "It is a nice surprise so I am now backtracking to
Mississippi.

"Ideally I would have practiced a little differently these past couple of weeks if I had known but it is a nice opportunity
all the same.

"I think things are in pretty good shape all the same. I would have loved to just keep going after Mexico but hopefully I will be
able to start back where I left off."

Peter recorded an 11th place finish in Mexico after sharing the lead into the final round an indication that all the patience and hard work since his knee and hip surgery last year are slowly but surely paying off.

Peter has not previously played this event or its predecessor, the Southern Farm Bureau tournament.

Peter produces best finish of season

It might not have been quite the final round Peter was hoping for but looking back on his week at the Mexico Open there is every reason to be delighted with the progress he made during the week.

Peter actually got into a share of the lead when he returned to complete the final nine holes of his third round on Sunday morning and actually played in the final group on Sunday afternoon.

Things were going well enough until he dropped four shots in the space of five holes through the middle of his back nine but two late birdies saw him finish with a round of 73 and at 11 under he shared 11th place in the tournament.

"It was very close there and I really played pretty
faultlessly for the first three rounds," said Peter. "I had two three putts on the second day
but that's about it.

"Sunday I really didn't hit it as well the first nine but
hung in there and fixed it at the rain delay. The only problem with that was thatI flushed it straight over the flag on the
11th and made double which really knocked the wind out of my sails.There was
only a foot or two in it and it could have easily been a different story.

"It was alot of fun to be in the hunt however and made me feel
pretty good about all the hard work I've been doing. I'm looking forward to getting
back out there in a couple of weeks."

This finish followed a 20th place finish in Wichita the previous week so things appear to be headed in the right direction.

Peter now has a two week break before the next event of the Nationwide Tour season, the Chiquita Classic in Maineville Ohio.
